I am sorry to report that the famed Felwithe Batskull Bug has been fixed. Merchants no longer sell these lovely little earrings, and people once again must go back to camping them in WK and TD. By the way, for some reason, the drop rates on this earring has been decreased drastically. For example, at the West Karana camp there are three mobs who have a chance to drop this earring. The earring itself is fairly common, about one in ten chance from Goonda and one in twenty from either of his helper shammies. So there is a 20% chance that you will get a BS Earring from one round of killing all three mobs every time. This decent rate has been downgraded to about half as much, Goonda at about one in fifteen and the others at about one in thirty. A decrease to about 9% chance. Good luck... Drops go down, prices go up, economy goes *BANG*.

still has the batskull bug it seems. Or at least if people still arent buying them, there were multiple players shouting out to sell them at 30pp or below last night. This may not be a bad time to make a new necro or wizard if you want a fast INT boost!

Ok anyone who wants one of these on the Torvonnilous server must have noticed a huge price drop on these guys, I'm the reason, i found out where to buy these at a merchant so if anyone wants one of these for 60pp just send me a tell. I'll be on either Fonalrono or Zonalrono.

This works on chanter pets as long as they are in the lvl range. (20 something I think). It gives message "your batskull earring begins to glow" and I still had the same amount of tiny daggers as before but now I had my pet too =)

(note- this is my brother) do mages pets count as summoned items, thus being uneffected by reagent conservation? please tell me so i dont waste all my cash on something that doesnt do what i want it to. bye now! ~Nolini, Wood Elf druid of the 14th fill-in-the-blank The Nameless

As long as it takes a reagent, it will work I believe. However, just so you know, I have never noticed this working. I have a runed mirthril bracer (conservation 3) and it probably does work, but I was never off in my count of fish scales when I am raiding the Grey. So if it does do anything, it's pretty uncommon.

Well, I got two of these camping the Goonda camp and neither dropped off Goonda. One was off one of the Ogre Guards and the other off an Ogre Shaman. In fact, I have killed Goonda going on over 50 times now, and he's only dropped two things to my group(s): Chipped Bone Bracelet once and a Turtleshell Helm once. I have gotten every item dropped in this camp multiple times, but most of the stuff has a better chance of dropping off the Ogres surrounding Goonda.

If you're bound near a bank stick one of these in there for convenience during corpse runs. This way you won't have to run around trying to get components for enduring breath or levitate if they aren't convenient.

i dont know if i was just unlucky or what. goonda i killed 30 tiem he dropped nothing of value. the shamans that are with him dropped the chipped bone braclet. another thin i found is it's somewhat worthless to camp cheif and his crown for anything. they r suck a really long spawn time. oowamp is far better

Depends on what day the pic was taken. I had one effect on my Cougar Claw Earring on the first day of the patch, changed the next day to something different. Don't mean to confuse, but things DID change. Allakhazam is correcting as they can...

The new focus items are not proc'd or triggered. They are permanently on, therefore there is no check to be made. If you have the focus item on then it will be used. Having more than one with the same focus effect of the same level will gain nothing because it is only going to use one. They do not stack so to speak. To try to be a little clearer if you have a Mana Preservation I item and a Mana Preservation II item. You will only receive the effect from the Mana Preserv. II item. You will not get a cumulative effect. Hope this helps.

<more thought> I can see where you might get the idea that you have two chances for the reagent conversation if you had two items since the effect description says that it gives you a 15% chance to save the reagent. So now I'm now sure about the possibility of increasing your chances with the reagent effect.

The effect on this item is NOT mana preservation I or II. In fact, this item has Reagent Conservation I on it, which decreases the chance of using a reagent by 15%, up to level 20. It says that summoning spells are excluded, however I have had a malachite reagent get missed in a pet summoning. Does this count as summoning? I think so, but that's just me, no one can presume to know the mind* of SoE. Good hunting and safe travels. ;-)

I am a 40 Wizard on Quellious. Camped Goonda and killed him about 20 times, no earrings. Got bored so I started killing the Shaman and Priestess that spawn in the center near Goonda. Wow! Finally got Earring off Goonda. I continued this and then got my second Earring off an ogre priestess! I found anything that Goonda drops, so do the Shaman and Priestess and vice versa.

dude that is common, he spawns often, try camping a mob that may take a week to spawn, and then it doesnt drop what you want, now thats NOT COMMON.... next thing youll tell me is that shiny brass shield is a rare drop off the trainer in crushbone....

Ok my pet and I took The Great Oowomp down in matter of 2 mins. Took me all but one bub of mana to take him out and I'm a level 35 shaman. It's a nice camp, would be really easy if you had anyone with you from 25 and up to take care of the other Mob that aggros after he gates.

I am a 38 monk and Chief Goonda messed em up. Conned blue to me but hits for up to 80. Also has quickness and a pet. Can run as fast as SoW. I reccomened a group of 35 or someone that can root and a mage or wizzie. I guess if you can root and have a pet then you could solo him at 34. Im thinking necro might handle him.

In all fairness to the poster above, the level to attain deal is not exactly what you could call consistent. I have seen some that are way to low and other that are way to high. For some mobs it does seem to be the level that you can solo them at, for others it's group. Others just list the level of the mob that drops it.
